Got some pictures from a Chinese in land dealer on WeChat

Sorry to go off topic, also would like to here your thoughts on the BLNR Batman, try to decide to get CF or ARF. I know the VR3186 is better, but the most thing I care is the insert quality

none in the picture is gen.

I think you guys are right. Due to the bezel that might not actually be gen. Now the question is did they digitally edit the "gen' to have a more gen-like insert or did they make a more correct version for a v2 to double dip?

Is it just me, or does the transition on the BLNR look worse than the BLRO? You can't really see the speed bumps on the BLRO (if at all), but it looks way more obvious in the last few pictures of the BLNR

So many conspiracy theories. Please open some more factories, people are going crazy on here with very little to talk about.

Yes the factory that lied about 904L just to pretend to be bought out by another company to save their reputation is definitely up front and honest this time around

I'm not defending anyone I'm just saying people are grasping at straws to find anything to talk about with the lack of activity in China at the moment.

@macarone, I bet the watches will be more reliable than the Cadillac. I kid, I kid. Wear them in good health. But sell the Cadillac before it takes all your money. (Do I sound bitter?)

It is quite certain that the rep inserts can almost never omit the speed bumps at the transition positions, it is just a question of how obvious they would show up.
The making of the gen bi-coloured inserts uses a process that I doubt the rep factory can ever match, unless the gen inserts are to be made in a Chinese factory one day, then the technology can leak out, lol.
So, the best rep GMT inserts will still be the all black 116710LN until the rep maker/CF got the tech breakthrough.

There is a speedbump because most of the reps have two parts joined. Isn't the noob one piece? No join. I was hoping this was a one piece

StreetFighter a question for you, in the GEN (both perfect) what do you think it is the right choice for the bracelet ? Oyster or jubilee ?

Great question with a number of correct answers depending on you...

I love the Jubilee but I'd also like to have it on Oyster. Oyster is heavier, the jubilee is lighter and you notice this on the wrist. But you may like the lightweight feel or the heavier ..or you may have a few and like the lighter one for a change.
Then there is the look, jubilee has something oyster doesn't (and vice versa).. For me, I have a box of watches with oysters but only one on jubilee and that 'one' is just perfect. the jubilee makes it special or unique in my collection in this respect..

I'd still like to have it on osyter so i'll buy an oyster version of the rep but I'll probably wait to see if anything happens with the bezel ring before I get one, so if that means wait for another factory then so be it, I'm not in any hurry.
